A Day in the Life......

Being at home on maternity leave really took me some getting used to. Once the first few months had passed and I settled into being a new mom, I had to find things to do to leave the house and stay sane!

At 8 1/2 months Small's 'routine' (I was generally against imposing rigid routines to start with, but at this stage we have approximate mealtimes and a set bedtime) has become more complex than making sure I have some bottles in the changing bag.

Things that keep me sane:

Going our for coffee

Taking a teething baby for walks to sooth her

Small having favorite toys

Bookshops & books in general - I love reading, both to small and once she's gone to bed for a little 'me' time

We've also been to lots of different kinds of baby groups and I'm excited about starting baby signing classes soon :)
